Hyperpatriotism? I don’t think that’s what is motivating most of the people with that line of thought...I for one can say it is more so a push back against tyranny and corruption, and to me that’s personal, patriotism would be just a side effect. It might be seen as affecting the collective but the whole is the sum of it’s parts.

I should clarify. To me the word hyperpatriotism defines a person who wears flag shirts, marches in 4th of July parades...and when the rubber hits the road, is anything BUT patriotic. Their personal superextraspecial important reason for NOT doing something always stops them from acting. But boy if it wasn’t for that they’d be right there though!!!

If the people, the ones referred to in that old document the Constitution, now have all things collected as ‘public’ why not the same government that’s the counterparty to the Constitution? Why are all the secrets one way? Where’s the government’s right to privacy in the Constitution?

"I dont know what Glenn is talking about. I dont listen to him much anymore.

Some "intelligence" operator you are. Theatrics are not my gig but one doesn't have to be entertained to obtain intellectual input. Go ahead, close your mind and input because of bias. That makes you just as "intelligent" as the people we are fighting.

My thought was that they would be forced to slink into the dustbin of history...not that there would be a shooting war...lol. Your point is taken however. Many most likely will cling bitterly to power.

Best thing to do is pray...pray that this country wakes up and votes all the progressives out of power.

(TIME FOR OBAMA TO ANSWER FOR BENGHAZI UNDER OATH!!)

I am about to get seriously rude right now- BUT- could we find some men in this country?

The feminist have dominated all of the men in this country- to the point where women with children have to stand up- and risk everything, including caring for their children, to fight for this country.

And that is to be expected to a cretin degree, but WHO is aiding them. Ted Cruz stands alone too, pretty much.

I am sorry- I am not a feminist and women are better at nurturing children- it is what it is, and it is so twisted that men, with male hormones, would allow this to continue.

I just got done praying to the Lord, to beg for the chance to remain in peace, and be alive long enough to nurture and raise my children, for the sake of posterity, and here I read this story, and I am heartbroken for her and what this country has become.

Why does this woman have to go thru this?

Where are the men, in the government to make a stand and do the right thing?

Seriously, I always wondered why the IT contractors at a FOB in the IZ I supported appeared stoned whenever I visited for work. I could smell the stuff but couldn’t figure where they’d gotten the weed from. I suppose now I know.

I think this is just a case of dirty laundry and sloppy management rather than some big plot. Sounds like State just has some lack of training and discipline issues much like any organization encounters from time to time. What affects them is their hubris which they will have to confront before they can repair.

Yes. Just think back to the SOTU address when O went after the Supreme Court and Roberts in particular. He’s been thuggin since the first campaign. As if he didn’t know about the sale of his senate seat. Yeah, right. People sure are stupid to have allowed themselves to be sold his bill of good. typical con man.

State Department Whistleblower, a Career Foreign Service Officer, Seeks Congressional Protection After State Threatens Her Kids

If this online bio is accurate, Aurelia Fedensin is a 23-year State Department officer who also served in the US military reserves as an intelligence officer. - Thats not the typical profile of a crank or someone who just makes things up. - The allegations Fedenisns IG investigation uncovered include the accusation that Obama bundler turned US ambassador to Belgium Howard Gutman sought the services of prostitutes routinely, including underage girls. Gutman denies, and State denies any cover-up, neither of which are dispositive of the charges. States new spokeswoman, Jen Psaki, worked on the Obama campaign and has a history of saying things that are provably false. She comes to the job with no prior experience in the foreign service at all.

Fedensins investigations also include accusations that then Secretary of State Hillary Clintons security detail used prostitutes when they traveled with Clinton on her million mile march around the world. They also include allegations that State Department officials engaged in an underground drug ring in Baghdad, Iraq. The overarching accusation within all of this is that the State Department at the highest levels scuttled all eight investigations. Specifically, that career officer Patrick Kennedy and Clinton loyalist Cheryl Mills engineered the death of those investigations.

The State Department took Fedensins whistleblowing extremely seriously. CBS, which originally broke the story without naming Fedensin, reports that Two hours after CBS News made inquiries to the State Department about these charges, investigators from the State Departments Inspector General showed up at [Fedenisn's] door. Thats apparently when they threatened her kids.

With all of this swirling around, theres a decent argument to be made that the State Departments two scandals  this one plus Benghazi, which has a body count and includes the then Secretary of State blaming a terrorist attack on a movie  make it the top overall scandal going. It has four dead Americans and now at least three threatened Americans, and an inspector general who is now seeking what amounts to asylum in the care of Congress against the executive branch that allegedly threatened her.

Its hard to say where all of this goes. The US State Department, Justice Department, Treasury Department, National Security Agency and military are all caught up in serious scandals, any of which would dominate headlines if not for the presence and interference from all the other scandals. It looks like our government is in the beginning stages of a collapse.

We won’t vote all of them out of power. There are, though, a few lynchpins that make all the difference. Ending the government monopoly of education, including what constitutes an education is a start. Reinvigorating federalism is another. Those are things we can do only if we control the Congress for a generation or more. That should be our goal, along with controlling as many governorships and statehouses as possible.

“If Zero confessed on national TV to a laundry list of crimes the libs and their butt licking pundits in the media would praise him for his bravery. And claim it was just more proof of what a great man he is.”

Because they knew about it, approved it, condonded it, gained power and money from it, and/or did nothing to stop it. The Republican Party, imo, is more guilty of destroying America because they've lied to us more than the RATs who tell us exactly how and when they're whizzing on the Constitution.

We still have a Constitution that can be reestablished and enforced by the people via election. Well, the integrity of the election process is very much in question at this stage, following little barry bastard boy's fraudulent re-election.

The only way I can imagine elections in 2014 realigning this nation is for an astonishing mad-as-hell conservative turnout that the fraud workers cannot anticipate in order to scam the election results. Barring that, the cheat factor is too well algorithm-ed to be caught or thwarted.

Sadly, I don't think most conservatives have it in them to see the long game.

For example, the Faith & Freedom Coalition's Road to Majority conference is this weekend. The stated purpose is:

to energize, train, and equip our top activists and chapter leaders on voter registration, voter education, get-out-the-vote, lobbying their legislature, dealing with the media, building a precinct organization, and utilizing social media to mobilize supporters.

Yet the reaction by more than a few is to turn up their noses at the RINOs who are speaking (e.g. Jeb Bush, Marco Rubio) and refuse to support the purpose of the conference or the conservatives who are getting involved in it to take back the GOP and Senate (e.g. Sarah Palin, Ted Cruz, Rand Paul, Rick Perry, Allen West, Michele Bachmann.)

We need to get involved early to wrest control from the RINOs. We need a plan, organization, and leadership. Without it, we're doomed to infighting and bickering and continued rule by progressives.

(There are those that break and bend. I'm the other kind. ~Steve Earle)

Queers in Mass. threatened parents with the rape of their children for exposing their disgusting interaction with children in a Department of Education gay/straight alliance (homo kiddie sex club) seminar.

Homos are sexually aggressive to the nth degree and are animals when confronted by normal people.

If you recall, in March 2007 Congress got a night time “secret briefing” that no one leaked. Think about it. They are a sieve but this one they kept secret. It did finally get out vaguely that it was “about the economy” or some such. The collapse was “orchestrated”. Like bringing down a building. No guess needed.

JULY 2013 : () Cameras Catch break in at Whistleblower's law firm Foreign Policy Magazine ^ | July 7,2013 | John Hudson Posted on ‎7‎/‎7‎/‎2013‎ ‎8‎:‎02‎:‎23‎ ‎PM by penelopesire The offices of a Dallas law firm representing a high-profile State Department whistleblower were broken into last weekend. Burglars stole three computers and broke into the firm's file cabinets. But silver bars, video equipment and other valuables were left untouched, according to local Fox affiliate KDFW, which aired security camera footage of the suspected burglars entering and leaving the offices around the time of the incident. The firm Schulman & Mathias represents Aurelia Fedenisn, a former investigator at the State Department's Office of the Inspector General. In recent weeks, she raised a slew of explosive allegations against the department and its contractors ranging from illicit drug use, soliciting sexual favors from minors and prostitutes and sexual harassment. "It's a crazy, strange and suspicious situation," attorney Cary Schulman told The Cable. "It's clear to me that it was somebody looking for information and not money. My most high-profile case right now is the Aurelia Fedenisn case, and I can't think of any other case where someone would go to these great lengths to get our information." According to the KDFW report, the firm was the only suite burglarized in the high-rise office building and an unlocked office adjacent was left untouched. The State Department, which has repeatedly disputed Fedenisn's allegations, denied any involvement in the incident. "Any allegation that the Department of State authorized someone to break into Mr. Schulman's law firm is false and baseless," spokeswoman Jen Psaki said.
